It was awesome to watch the nose stay in the air so long as the plane went down the runway. It was amazing to watch those front tires literally disintegrate.
I heard on the live feed that the plane went 95% of the way down 25L before stopping. Wow....that's a LONG way down the runway.
Congrats to the captain for a job well done.

Fascinating that they didn't use the reversers, as to avoid shifting the CoG to the front gear.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

Great job by the crew, glad everything worked out okay.
Now Jet Blue has to figure out how to repair that puppy at a non-JetBlue station.

The crew did a wonderful job on the landing, they sure saved the day.
I doubt Jet Blue will be repairing it them selves, they will most likely hire Unite Techops, Air Canada or Airbus Field team to do the repair. I wonder how long is the runway going to be out of service for?

Nosewheel or not, that was one of the BEST landings I've ever seen. Wow.
I'm sure 25L is up and running by now, or at least will be very shortly. LAX can't afford to have one runway out - we all know how hectic things can get at LGA and JFK when there's only one runway available, so after a thorough FOB walk, arrivals and departure should have the all-clear.Originally Posted by Clipper

BrianSTATEMENT BY JETBLUE CEO DAVID NEELEMAN
REGARDING FLIGHT 292
NEW YORK (Sept. 22, 2005) – JetBlue Airways' Chief Executive Officer
David Neeleman today issued the following statement regarding the
emergency landing of Flight 292 in Los Angeles yesterday:
"On behalf of JetBlue's 9,000 crewmembers, I would like to
express my personal admiration and deep appreciation to the
pilots and flight attendants of Flight 292 for their
professionalism and skill in handling yesterday's incident.
"I would also like to thank the thousands of customers and
business partners who took the time to acknowledge the crew
for taking care of our customers on board the flight and for
what many have described as a perfectly executed emergency
landing.
"We continue to offer support to customers from Flight 292,
including securing travel arrangements and any other
assistance they require.
"The crew of Flight 292 has asked us to communicate their
appreciation to the 140 customers on board for their
cooperation, and they are also grateful for the messages of
support sent to JetBlue by thousands of people. The crew
looks forward to returning to their families and loved ones,
and to their normal lives as quickly as possible.
"I join all JetBlue crewmembers in thanking Los Angeles
International Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration
and local authorities for their assistance in the successful
outcome of this incident."
The National Transportation Safety Board (the independent Federal
agency charged by Congress to investigate civil aviation accidents or
incidents in the United States) will field all further questions
regarding the investigation of Flight 292.
"My wife is an air traffic controller. I married her because I've always wanted to screw the FAA." - B. Wulle

I wonder if the nosewheel made a groove in the runway. If it did, how long would the runway be out of service???

You're aware that LAX has four runways, right?
